SINK STRUCTURE.

Application filed March 24, 19 25. i Serial No. 18,025.

vide a device of this character enabling ready removal from the sink of those particles of garbage washed from dishes and the like and collecting upon the usual drain of the sink.

These and other objects I-attain by the COIlSlZtllCilOIl shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein for tliepurpose of illustration is shoWna preferred embodiment, of

my invention and wherein: I

Figurel is a plan view of a sink constructed in accordance ith my invention;

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof; and

Figure 3 is an enlarged detailed sectional. View through the sink at the po nt Where the opening is formed-therein. j

Referring now more. particularly to the drawings, the numeral 10 indicates a sink havingthe usual drain outlet 11. Adjacent the opposite end of the sink, an'opening 12' is formed through the'bottoiii of the sink,

this opening being preferably about four inches in diameter. Upon the bottom of the v sink are-formed spaced'horizontally directed horizontal ribs; 14.

and transversely extending and opposed flanges 13, each having inwardly directed A p'ail1'5 is provided having at its sldes outstanding flanges 16 7 adapted tooverlie thehorizontal portions 14 ofthe flanges 13 and thereby support the pail. This pail is preferably of considerably greater size than-the opening beneath which it is placed. For example, Where a four inch opening is'provided, as stated'ahove, it

preferred that tliediameter of'the pail at the flange should be at least ten inches. For the opening, a plug closure 17 is provided having a sealing fit in the opening and preferably having a' flexible flange overlying the edges of the sink at the sides'of the opening which may come into close engagement with thec p usual drain opening and asecond'opening in spaced relation to said drain opening, a sealsurface of the sink.

It will be obviousthat with a structure of he sink.

,ceptacle being removable ithout this character, it is possible to use the usual flexible cap for the'drain opening of the sink and employ the sink as a receptacle for Wash- Water as it is often employed. It Will furtlierinore be obvious that When crumbs or other particles of refuse collect attlie drain when emptying dishwater, or the like in the sink, they may be readily removed'to the garl e pail Without the necessity of collecting tl'ieii'l in the hand and moving them toa garbage pail arranged upon the floor, which method of handling results in dripping of ;Water upon the floor and in dropping'of of the. particles upon the floor adjacent that in placing the garbage in the pail, the

particles of the garbage from falling to the floor 'which is also a common occurrence It will furthermore be obvious WllQfC tliG garbage pailis simply placed upon the floor. Since'the methodofsuspending' the pail and the arrangement of the opening are both obviously capable of aronsiderable range of modification, I do not limitjinyself I to the specific structure hereinbef ore set forth except as hereinafter claimed.

lI olaimr c a '1. In combination. with a' receptacle adapted for the reception of: articles to be cleansed by or treated with liquids, the re ceptacle having a drain opening and a fur} ther opening in spaced relation to the drain opening, a second receptacle, adapted for the reception of solids, said first and second re ceptacles. having coactingv flanges engaging I to support the seconc. 'eceptacle from the first named receptacle and beneath the second opening and means for sealing said second opening against the passage of liquids the re the sealing means. a

2. In combination With a sink havingthe I for removably securing the garbagefrecepe disturbing so i v ticle beneath the second opening oft-he sink r and means forsealing said second opening against the passageof liquids. In conibination 'y'v-ith a .s iikhaving the ing cover for the second opening, a garbage receptacle of greater diameter than said second opening, said garbage receptacle being provided with diametrically opposed flange portions andopposed flanges extending across the under surface of the bottom of the sink at opposite sides of said opening and adapted for the reception of the diametrically opposed flanges of the garbage receptacle to support the same. 1
